Couldn’t have come at a better time. Sick to the back teeth of working for others who just see me as another employee and don’t see the potential I see in myself. Thanks for all you do Hamza.
@@Sravan.Allopi Appreciate that bro, there’s a set of men who will rule the earth in the next few decades. Let’s make it us bro. All the best on your journey also.
One of the hardest things to overcome is judgment from peers and family... I'm a self-employed software developer. I make more money than any of my immediate relatives and yet they STILL look down on me and condemn me for not having a "regular" job Lol it's unfortunate, but it is what it is.
Damn bro, I guess you learn to validate yourself. Also at least your not working in a grey cubicle for 60hrs a week doing work you don’t want to do and aren’t proud of.
Best thing I ever did was switch to 3 12 hour days. I get to spend 4 days a week with no distractions focused on my goal. Went from nothing 4months ago to learning 3d design and I’m currently building myself an electric kiln. Months ago I could never imagine I’d be building something like that. Once you build some momentum and see that you can do what you set your mind to it makes you feel amazing.
@@erickstotle4285 figuring out what you want to do is definitely hard. With the internet you can learn anything but it can be too much that you can’t decide. I’m a little older than hamzas general audience so I’ve had a chance to work and gain skills that helped taper down my choices
@@shaka9888 see you hit the point I’ve learned much over my years I’m 29 now but I’ve been having the most trouble deciding what to get in on. Haha I know I love which is training wither that be Parkour, Jiujitsu/MMA or Firearms that what I would love to do as a living however that not something I yet have much experience in
@@erickstotle4285 those are some cool hobbies man! Sounds like we have some stuff in common. At least you have a rough direction of where to go. Wish you luck!
Hamza, I'm 36 and married. My generation was fed so many lies, and it's wild to see the world change so fast. I blinked, and came out the other end older, with a career and seeing how there is great amount of bullshit I'm not willing to put up with anymore. I've always felt this way, but every time I tried to break out, I did it wrong and didn't have the right tools. I have the energy of a 20 year old, and I fight hard every day for a better life. Thanks for your content.
36 you’re still very young bro you can do it!!! I’m 23 but I vibe a lot with people in their 30s and 40s who start out their journey now. I have mad respect
I’ve built a 1-3k per month business while working full time. Working a job at night was crucial. I was able to wake up 7 days a week and work on my business first thing in the morning when I had the most energy and focus. The tired and less focused hours of the day were spent at the BS job.
I remember you posted a while ago a pdf file called "The Full Time Job Virus", i remember reading that, it helped a lot. im guessing you took some inspiration from the 4 hour work week, it changed my mind how they've made us follow a salary when we should all be following what our hourly wage is. Also the fact that we don't do 9-5s, we do 7-7s and even more for some. Remember everyone, if you want to start a youtube channel you can't be consuming the content wasting time, ever heard of don't get high on your own supply?
I really appreciate all these videos you make. I just realized you never use cuts in these videos. That's inspiring as fuck how you just speak authenticly
I remember ~2 years ago you released the original word document for this book, as well as your original self-improvement novella and loved them both, great to see they still hold up, even now. Now we need the rest of your Amazon books
Took the time to be introspective about this and I really need to work on self-discipline when it comes to deep work. This was a really great video and something that I needed to watch. Do the hard work of building YOUR dreams especially when you don't feel like it or someone else will USE YOU to build theirs!
I love you Hamza, I really appreciate the videos you put out on this channel they are so genuine and allow me to think less like a Jeffrey, thank you ❤️👑
Hamza I’m incredibly impressed by your ability to tell stories. I seriously believe that this is the main factor behind your deserved success! I’m focused on telling stories at the moment, such a life-changing skill
Thank you for this slap in the face Hamza. :) I thought I had created LOTS of UA-cam videos, yet seeing few results... but I am only on video 31. You mentioning making 50 shitty videos as practice was EXACTLY what I needed to hear. 🙏 haha
Fuck I needed this. I'm reading Unscripted right now by MJ Demarco. Just finished the chapter where he talks about the FTE. I really needed to hear this cause I've been straight up slacking. Hamza, your unfiltered channel is like nothing else on youtube. I've listened and watched all types of self-help, self improvement and entrepreneur type shit and you are truly the only person who knows how to deliver these kinds of messages in a way that really resonates with me and actually gets me to take action. Thanks man.
You're definitely motivating me. I can't exactly apply a lot of your very practical tips because I'm in the military, but definitely find your information about adjusting to "working" for yourself after work very useful. It's doable for a lot of people. Unfortunately I can't do much more than that. Military life is awful for being an entrepreneur but you do get to save most of your income. Time is very very slim in this life, but I'm going to work on transitioning that. Thank you.
Absolutely!! I used to be so anxious talking online. Now I feel confident most of the time. It's just takes practice to relax and realize it's not a big deal. Hope this helps someone out to start!
Hamza thanks for inspiring me to look forward to my future and give me the tools to change my life and the life of others. I will one day fly to wherever you are and shake your hand for all the help youve given me
My upbringing was utter shit. My dad married at a young age because his family thought it would mature him but he struggled as a young man. He was always abusive to me and my mother, day in day out I would live in complete fear and i absolutely hated seeing him. I developed massive anxiety because of him, he used to beat the living shit out of me when he used to teach me things and that made me hate education. He made some horrible life choices which lead him to getting disabled for life. He moved out of our lives and I couldn't have been much happier. But I have no father figure, no one to teach me anything. My mom didn't really speak English and she didn't know how to raise me in a western society which also paid a heavy toll on me. This mixed with childhood trauma really formed a weird personality in me and I didn't make much friends because of it. Growing up I started to become normal, I still felt scared and insecure but I was managing myself... At around 15 I was starving myself to look more attractive and it worked. I had the body I wanted and I was finely getting some attention from girls. I looked great and felt great but I was still a bit weird... I still had no confidence and wanted to join a martial arts club but I was too broke and my bum ass dad didn't do shit for me and my mom thought it would make me aggressive.... and overall I was forced to quit the gym too... I started eating... I ate a lot and started packing on some heavy weight... I didn't know better and all I did was just play video games and eat loads of meals. Staying inside started to kill my social skills and I found myself in a dark place. Then I went on holiday and sort of fixed my mental problems, I came back and was confident in everything, I was extroverted and could speak with everyone, do anything and had the confidence and courage of a lion. I wanted to work but my mom refused to let me and mind you I'm around 18 years old at that time. I really conflicted with my mom and started to hate her and blamed her for my weight and why I was so fucked up mentality, that and my dad too. Then lockdown started, I didn't go out obviously and stayed in doors doing the same shit again... I packed on weight and I lost my confidence... I got onto universal credit which in the UK is known as benefits and is given to people struggling with work. I finally started getting money and this really allowed me to control my own world. I had some back problems ever since 2019 but I was so obsessed with joining a martial arts club that I didn't care how much it hurt me. I was finally losing weight, I wasn't gaming or doing stupid shit; my confidence was coming back and I was able to talk to people again... then I suffered a massive back injury. I developed Cauda Equina syndrome which needed surgery... of course this meant I can't do martial arts, not for a VERY long time... I returned to my man cave, started eating bull shit again and went back to my stupid games... this time my mental health really suffered because I started to doubt myself a lot. I started to compare myself to other people and how they had good parents in their lives and that they're only the way they are because they're lucky. I wanted to end myself so badly, that I can't even have the simple things in life. I felt cursed, and that I was forced to live the life of a Jeffery. I stated blaming my parents more for what happened to me and how they neglected me throughout the years... I prayed that I wouldn't wake up when I slept and I would punch my walls, crying myself to sleep. I would always reminisce the days where my spine was working and I was thinner and how that very SHORT period of life was good. Someone else's bad days were literally my best days. All of this was too much for mind and I'm only 20... I still feel like shit but I'm trying to heal, I haven't gave up and despite the fact that I'm barely on step 1 I look forward in hopes that my life will get better... I want to improve mentally the most, I want to be able to talk with people again, be confident and be well... I don't know if Hamza will see this or if anyone will but I genuinely don't know what to do... I don't know who to reach out to because I lost all of my friends, a lot of them are in prison and are somewhere else but someone like me can't simply go to the gym, get a job because of my state. It feels like I'm cursed to just be a loser and it's so painful. I just pray that I can do better for my kids in the future whenever I'm a father... the best we can do is save them and protect them from the faults of our parents... If I could be born again I would... I just hate my life so much. I want to work, I want to workout and get productive... I fucking hate laying down and playing video games but thsts all I can do... If you read all of this then that means a lot to me. If you're going through a similar thing, I hope it gets better.
You have to do what’s best for you and change ur environment, sometimes how you react to your environment means a lot, in your case, especially with foreign parents, how you react barely matters because of the parameters set, so you have to find a way to change your environment as the effects of it have dug deep past your concious, like your spirit is almost calling to be uncaged all love bro the fact you even notice these patterns is more than what the majority can do, identifying the demon in front of you is harder than we think and is half the battle
I read all of this and i was in a similar predicament mentally in the summer. What comforted me personally when i was given the advice I'll give to you.First of all spend 10 minutes a day aligning all your fears that you have.Identify something you're afraid of (whats making you have this anxiety,these bad thoughts) and as scary as this sounds think of the worst possible situation that could come from this. Then once you identify this come to acceptance and think 'its not even that bad i can handle it'.I know this may seem bad but your mind will be freed once you do this.Also learn to live in the present. You cannot change the past but if you spend the time you have now regretting over the past it will effect your future and you will spend that time regretting over wasting the time you currently have at this moment in time. Also with workouts come to the conclusion that motivation comes and goes,discipline stays.When you constantly look for a motivation youll not achieve what youd want to because its a temporary thing. I hope this helps you
@@mistasmith7722 thanks for your reply, this is something I'm definitely going to do. I sometimes do this without realising it but because I'm too afraid to think about my fears I tend to stop. But after reading your comment I'm going to try. Thanks again. ❤
Excellent video brother this is the exact things I'm trying to cover on my channel too. The fact is we never work a 40 hour week its always more considering the commute and the time gone into getting ready for work
I agree with him, Hamza got me into making youtube videos a few months ago and even though it's incredibly hard to grow, it literally thaught me so much about being consistent and even expressing myself better over time. I'm grateful for that.
I stuck through the video all the way,. Especially the last part, when you said that I or we can do it, if the millions of people can do it so can we, it really touched my heart. Thank you so much. During the duration of the video, I had so much ideas in my mind, specifically the going back home and lifestyle deflation part. My family owns a business, I can work part-time there helping my friend while also growing my businness on off days, it really opened my mind. Once again Thank you so much Hamza.
I've been taught my whole life that getting the highest paying career possible and working for someone else is the only way to be "successful". I realize now that I'd much rather make an average income doing what I want with my time.
Thank you Hamza, I started this channel and slowly chipping away at it after I finish work, 100% committed to this and insha'Allah I will see the results
Brother, hands down you are my favorite UA-camr. I watched you everyday for the last few months, and now I actually started hitting the gym and planning to start a YT channel. I will be going to uni next year, and I wanna make sure I sacrifice a few hours everyday to work on my dreams and fight those demons. Wish me luck, brother, wish me luck!
Thank you for these words, I really needed them. I have been trying to make UA-cam work for a year but have always felt lazy, hence why my video output is like once a month. I want to make way more videos, but I haven’t been thinking big enough. Working a full time job definitely takes a toll on you, but if you want something bad enough, you’ll make it work. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Thank you Hamza.
This sounds just like me lmao. I've been tryna do the UA-cam thing for 2 years (on a different channel) and barely uploaded anything. I have been studying and learning a lot but ultimately made way too many excuses for myself. I seen you made a vid about coding, which I've been doing too. Would be great to connect and we can help each other on that front since I don't see too many people that understand both coding and content creation
Hamza i was giving in my 2 weeks notice just yesterday and just come back from work not that long ago. I think i am ur target audience as i share a lot of ur opinions and i am 20yrs old, and i live with my parents. Is funny sometimes how things in life just line up that u posted this video as i give in my notice and was thinking of starting a business of my own for a while. I felt like starting a channel recording my self improvement journey in a similar way that u did but always lack the courage. Its cool to hear it from someone that actually motivates me to do a lot of the good habits i do. Its not much but thx bro✌🏼
I was putting off watching this video knowing full well I literally want to do what’s in the title. I have an online business, but I need to grow it quite a bit before I can quit my job. This video made me realize some important things to help me do this quicker with more focus.
So fucking grateful that I took the leap to start pursuing my UA-cam channel/ business. To think that I was going to live the rest of my life working on someone else’s demand sickens me. You can ALL make it, stay disciplined and remember the end goal. Let’s go boys 🙏
Hamza I wanna thank you for your videos i was on the verge of doing something stupid that'll fuck me up then i saw the a man cannot rise above how he sees himself and so i took your advice and visualized myself as a 14 year old into slef improvment focusing on improving my life physical mental and freedom (finacial) so i can help myself as well as my family ive been working out for a month and today i came back from a workout it wasnt that great but i noticed my body has been getting better and my face as well i havent been meditating conistently but im going to work on that thank u for giving me the advice and inspiration to do it myself.
Yo Hamza thank you for changing my life it’s only been a month can’t wait for my progress at the end of the year. Currently saving money from work and going to buy into business. I’m 17 and have $10k so far.
Hamza Im on my way to work now Im an NHS receptionist also and I hate it I am starting an online business now and this video has made me feel so much more positive. You actually give advice not empty bs like everyone else. Thanks
thanks for your vid hamza and i want to add something plz dont make a stupid decision and leave your current job until you find another garmented source of income
Damn doing my uni art work and that hit me so hard "what are you risking if you DON'T do this" honestly fuck the youtube just become a motivational speaker, so many words of wisdom, always on point!!
Congrats on 100k on this channel. I personally stopped watching latest videos on the main channel but I love binge watching the unfiltered channel and old videos on the main channel after a workout with a nice meal
Thank you for this, Hamza! No joke: I've been looking to start doing Transcription as a side hustle that I could turn into a full time thing (I'm a Mexican, and this kind of work pays in dollars, which go A LOOOONG WAY) and just on Friday I got the gear I'll need to start. This is so well timed for me! Thank you so much! Definitely will get the book!
I've been looking into that transcription thing too, it would be perfect for me since I can translate from french and spanish to english and vice versa. What do I need to start ?
If you have found something useful for transcription or just stuck along with it, please tell me more details on how to start. I would love to hear people with actual experience if they make any money or what webs do they use, thanks!
I decided a few weeks ago to pursue this goal and just now saw this video. I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I'm eternally grateful for it, it has helped me not feel alone on how I feel about a lot of things, you really do make it feel like a safe space for men. I'm 32 and been working the same job almost my whole life, in retail and as a manager. I've been married and owned a home but I divorced her and left it all behind and that was 4 years ago. Now I'm working 6 days a week just to barely afford living on my own, but I'm stacking up OT to buy a Canon M50 then going to start working this on the side. I want to do something that brings me joy and honestly helping people does this the most. I went through such a dark time and I discovered how much working out and running helped me mentally and it's one of the very few things that has kept me here. I'm looking to create content that focuses on mens health because now I know how many of us need support. I want to spread awareness and share the things that have helped me find happiness like working out and other hobbies. Even if it doesn't make it big at least I can have an impact. I have to quit smoking weed soon, have been since I was 14. It'll be tough but worth it, I see it as a coping mechanism now and distracts me too much. Us men need some more fucking Wins.
This is great for me. I am working at a customer service job that is soul killing. Soon I have exams, in a couple of weeks I will resign and after that I will begin working for myself.
This could be also good video to comment. When I began to watch Hamzas videos, I was already on self improvement journey but he definitely gave me some great advice and directions. I'm 30 years old so the information hes giving out, age doesnt really matter but earlier you realize this stuff is just great. I'm still watching 1stman and Hamzas unfiltered videos sometimes, but I dont really have that much time and space for that anymore because I know tte basics, even advanced knowledge of this stuff and I focus on my mission. These channels gave good advices how to make money but IMO it should be something you are passionate about. I tried several things but they didn't give that right feeling, not my purpose. One day I realized that I spend so much time with my electric guitar and I just love playing it. I had the courage to make my own channel with few guitar covers played already and I have many other plans in future, not just alone, but with my friend, regarding how to make some money with this passion! Thank you Hamza!
Thank you Hamza your words really speak to me. I know I will make it and once work for myself not for a shitty boss. Thank you again for your wise words!
Yo Hamza if you can make an unfiltered video of what made you think "yeah self improvement is gonna be my youtube channel" and how we all can also find our own niches and how big of a role confidence plays a role in becoming a youtuber that would be great.
Spent so much time the last three months working nearly every day to get my $ in order, n I can’t lie I lack the discipline n foresight to plan my attack when I’m off work. Thank you for the extra push, Hamza. I’m gonna order the two books finally and get to reading them in my off time, and planning more content for this channel. Just takes some commitment and consistency and I’ll be able to stop doing things that sap my energy 💚 appreciate your insight always brother
Everyone is the same but.... everyone in the same time is special itself, it's like quantum physics basically. In you, I see a unique character that could easily get to 1 million just keep leveling up fam 💪The path is the goal and will always be.
thank you so much. im 15 and sick of school and the idea of working on things that are pointless to me. even though i know im an artist by nature i've been feeling lost regarding to the way i would use my creativity for my career but your conifdence has really inspired me to seriously start working towards it, thank you a lot for that!!
after watching this i think my next move would be to transition to a remote job so i can save time on travelling to work everyday nd focus the spare 1.5-2hrs on my side hustle, thanks hamza
Couldn’t have come at a better time. Sick to the back teeth of working for others who just see me as another employee and don’t see the potential I see in myself. Thanks for all you do Hamza.

Keep your head up king, don't let distractions get to you. But I'm curious tho, what kind of job are you in? I'm in the same field as you.
What do you mean by self employed software developer what do you do?
It's hard use it as practice to develop thick skin. Unless they pay your bills don't let their opinions of how you make money sway you. Keep going
Well done mate I am in the same situation as you. Keep up the hustle.

I was finally losing weight, I wasn't gaming or doing stupid shit; my confidence was coming back and I was able to talk to people again... then I suffered a massive back injury.
I developed Cauda Equina syndrome which needed surgery... of course this meant I can't do martial arts, not for a VERY long time... I returned to my man cave, started eating bull shit again and went back to my stupid games... this time my mental health really suffered because I started to doubt myself a lot.
I started to compare myself to other people and how they had good parents in their lives and that they're only the way they are because they're lucky. I wanted to end myself so badly, that I can't even have the simple things in life.
I felt cursed, and that I was forced to live the life of a Jeffery. I stated blaming my parents more for what happened to me and how they neglected me throughout the years... I prayed that I wouldn't wake up when I slept and I would punch my walls, crying myself to sleep.
I would always reminisce the days where my spine was working and I was thinner and how that very SHORT period of life was good. Someone else's bad days were literally my best days.
All of this was too much for mind and I'm only 20... I still feel like shit but I'm trying to heal, I haven't gave up and despite the fact that I'm barely on step 1 I look forward in hopes that my life will get better...
I want to improve mentally the most, I want to be able to talk with people again, be confident and be well...
I don't know if Hamza will see this or if anyone will but I genuinely don't know what to do... I don't know who to reach out to because I lost all of my friends, a lot of them are in prison and are somewhere else but someone like me can't simply go to the gym, get a job because of my state. It feels like I'm cursed to just be a loser and it's so painful.
I just pray that I can do better for my kids in the future whenever I'm a father... the best we can do is save them and protect them from the faults of our parents...
If I could be born again I would... I just hate my life so much. I want to work, I want to workout and get productive... I fucking hate laying down and playing video games but thsts all I can do...
If you read all of this then that means a lot to me. If you're going through a similar thing, I hope it gets better.
You have to do what’s best for you and change ur environment, sometimes how you react to your environment means a lot, in your case, especially with foreign parents, how you react barely matters because of the parameters set, so you have to find a way to change your environment as the effects of it have dug deep past your concious,
like your spirit is almost calling to be uncaged
all love bro the fact you even notice these patterns is more than what the majority can do, identifying the demon in front of you is harder than we think and is half the battle
@@ronihalabi ❤ thank you bro, ever since I typed this things have been slowly getting better...
@@nivaneh1010 love to hear that bro you cannot become a statistic❤️
I read all of this and i was in a similar predicament mentally in the summer. What comforted me personally when i was given the advice I'll give to you.First of all spend 10 minutes a day aligning all your fears that you have.Identify something you're afraid of (whats making you have this anxiety,these bad thoughts) and as scary as this sounds think of the worst possible situation that could come from this. Then once you identify this come to acceptance and think 'its not even that bad i can handle it'.I know this may seem bad but your mind will be freed once you do this.Also learn to live in the present. You cannot change the past but if you spend the time you have now regretting over the past it will effect your future and you will spend that time regretting over wasting the time you currently have at this moment in time. Also with workouts come to the conclusion that motivation comes and goes,discipline stays.When you constantly look for a motivation youll not achieve what youd want to because its a temporary thing. I hope this helps you
@@mistasmith7722 thanks for your reply, this is something I'm definitely going to do. I sometimes do this without realising it but because I'm too afraid to think about my fears I tend to stop. But after reading your comment I'm going to try. Thanks again. ❤
Hamza, congrats on achieving 100k subs. You deserve even more. Stay on the grind
Excellent video brother this is the exact things I'm trying to cover on my channel too. The fact is we never work a 40 hour week its always more considering the commute and the time gone into getting ready for work
I agree with him, Hamza got me into making youtube videos a few months ago and even though it's incredibly hard to grow, it literally thaught me so much about being consistent and even expressing myself better over time. I'm grateful for that.
*it's like Hamza knows when I'm about to lift so he puts out another unfiltered gem*
I stuck through the video all the way,. Especially the last part, when you said that I or we can do it, if the millions of people can do it so can we, it really touched my heart. Thank you so much. During the duration of the video, I had so much ideas in my mind, specifically the going back home and lifestyle deflation part. My family owns a business, I can work part-time there helping my friend while also growing my businness on off days, it really opened my mind. Once again Thank you so much Hamza.
business videos are the best, appreciate it bro
Congrats on 100k !! even though you already hit 100k on your main channel, its cool to have done with 2 channels bro props to you!
You are doing a great work! Being binge watching.
I've been taught my whole life that getting the highest paying career possible and working for someone else is the only way to be "successful". I realize now that I'd much rather make an average income doing what I want with my time.
That nice, for me it’s the opposite, I couldn’t really care less about the job, only the money.
Well, yes but if you make lots of money you can do whatever you want in your free time which is much more than any typical job.
Thank you so much, just what I needed to hear.
Thank you Hamza, I started this channel and slowly chipping away at it after I finish work, 100% committed to this and insha'Allah I will see the results
Great video. One of the best on youtube. Very accurate
Brother, hands down you are my favorite UA-camr. I watched you everyday for the last few months, and now I actually started hitting the gym and planning to start a YT channel. I will be going to uni next year, and I wanna make sure I sacrifice a few hours everyday to work on my dreams and fight those demons. Wish me luck, brother, wish me luck!
Congratulations 🎉 on the 100k!!!
love the no filter the straight-up truth!
Another hamza video. Looking forward to this one!
Congrats on 100k you really deserve it
So right! Thanks Hamza.
You're at 100K, congrats man
You’re an absolute gem Hamza💎
Thank you for these words, I really needed them. I have been trying to make UA-cam work for a year but have always felt lazy, hence why my video output is like once a month. I want to make way more videos, but I haven’t been thinking big enough. Working a full time job definitely takes a toll on you, but if you want something bad enough, you’ll make it work.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Thank you Hamza.
This sounds just like me lmao. I've been tryna do the UA-cam thing for 2 years (on a different channel) and barely uploaded anything. I have been studying and learning a lot but ultimately made way too many excuses for myself. I seen you made a vid about coding, which I've been doing too. Would be great to connect and we can help each other on that front since I don't see too many people that understand both coding and content creation
This was so helpful. Thank you.
appreciate this video so much brother, just realised i have already read this book haha! now is the time to start
Great video , a lot of good insight , also good transition at the end to get our emails 😉…. Smart
This is honestly my favorite video i’ve seen from you
When did that channel already hit 100k wtf, felt like a week since 70 k, keep up the great work 💪
Congratulations achieving 100k on this channel Hamza!
Hamza i was giving in my 2 weeks notice just yesterday and just come back from work not that long ago. I think i am ur target audience as i share a lot of ur opinions and i am 20yrs old, and i live with my parents. Is funny sometimes how things in life just line up that u posted this video as i give in my notice and was thinking of starting a business of my own for a while. I felt like starting a channel recording my self improvement journey in a similar way that u did but always lack the courage. Its cool to hear it from someone that actually motivates me to do a lot of the good habits i do. Its not much but thx bro✌🏼
PewDiePie’s got nothing on you
I was putting off watching this video knowing full well I literally want to do what’s in the title. I have an online business, but I need to grow it quite a bit before I can quit my job. This video made me realize some important things to help me do this quicker with more focus.
So fucking grateful that I took the leap to start pursuing my UA-cam channel/ business. To think that I was going to live the rest of my life working on someone else’s demand sickens me. You can ALL make it, stay disciplined and remember the end goal. Let’s go boys 🙏
good shit bro
@@liftinglegendary9047 thank you my brother 👊🏻
@Patrick that means a lot mate, thank you 🙏
Congratulations mate keep up the good work.
@@rodraven74 much appreciated mate 🙏
Congrats 100.000 subs !
100k on this channel, congrats man that’s insane.
Hamza I wanna thank you for your videos i was on the verge of doing something stupid that'll fuck me up then i saw the a man cannot rise above how he sees himself and so i took your advice and visualized myself as a 14 year old into slef improvment focusing on improving my life physical mental and freedom (finacial) so i can help myself as well as my family ive been working out for a month and today i came back from a workout it wasnt that great but i noticed my body has been getting better and my face as well i havent been meditating conistently but im going to work on that
thank u for giving me the advice and inspiration to do it myself.
Yo Hamza thank you for changing my life it’s only been a month can’t wait for my progress at the end of the year. Currently saving money from work and going to buy into business. I’m 17 and have $10k so far.
Also sleep deprived because we close at 11pm come home at 12am eat for an hour and wake up for school at 7-8 am
Making an average $57 a day for 6 months already part time cuz of school
Worked 12 hours the other week made $220
$15 an hour plus tips and delivery
Respect. ❤️ Try to prioritise sleep more as it’s incredibly, incredibly important and necessary to performing at your max, but I love your drive!
The hero we need, not the one we deserve
Thanks dude amazing work keep it up
I'm so grateful to myself that i kept on looking on UA-cam for a decent self-growth channel
haven't seen the book but thanks in advance
Great advice man. Inspiring me to do the most
Congrats to 100k on this channel!
Even though my insecurities pop in. I choose to fight them, be humble and listen. Thank you 🙏🏼
This was a great listen! I'd love to see you on more podcasts with others, Have you thought about starting one yourself?
Hamza, CONGRATS ON 100k on this channel bro 👍🏽💯
Hamza Im on my way to work now Im an NHS receptionist also and I hate it I am starting an online business now and this video has made me feel so much more positive. You actually give advice not empty bs like everyone else. Thanks
I really do appreciate you Hamza I’m putting many of my friends on to you 👍
thanks for your vid hamza and i want to add something plz dont make a stupid decision and leave your current job until you find another garmented source of income
Damn doing my uni art work and that hit me so hard "what are you risking if you DON'T do this" honestly fuck the youtube just become a motivational speaker, so many words of wisdom, always on point!!
100k Baby, Congrats!
This video is very eye opening to your real time spent working, not just your advertised rate. Take into account getting ready, the commute, etc.
thank you for everything Hamza :)
I LOVE THIS 💚💕 Thank you!!!
Number 1, straight and simple
greetings from Italy
Congrats on 100k on this channel. I personally stopped watching latest videos on the main channel but I love binge watching the unfiltered channel and old videos on the main channel after a workout with a nice meal
Some day we'll be congratulating you on your 100k. Keep grinding bro!
unfiltered chan is way better..love these
@@browhat6935 thanks brother
Me and you both. It's a little too hectic and well clearly for the masses, but love these. Keep pushing Ahmet.
the synchronicity 🔥🥇
Thank you for this, Hamza! No joke: I've been looking to start doing Transcription as a side hustle that I could turn into a full time thing (I'm a Mexican, and this kind of work pays in dollars, which go A LOOOONG WAY) and just on Friday I got the gear I'll need to start.
This is so well timed for me! Thank you so much! Definitely will get the book!
I've been looking into that transcription thing too, it would be perfect for me since I can translate from french and spanish to english and vice versa. What do I need to start ?
If you have found something useful for transcription or just stuck along with it, please tell me more details on how to start. I would love to hear people with actual experience if they make any money or what webs do they use, thanks!
Just join the cartel bro ull make $$$$
Thank you for this
100,000 on the backup channel. My god that was fast. Congratulations Hamza, you’re on another level.
I decided a few weeks ago to pursue this goal and just now saw this video. I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I'm eternally grateful for it, it has helped me not feel alone on how I feel about a lot of things, you really do make it feel like a safe space for men.
I'm 32 and been working the same job almost my whole life, in retail and as a manager. I've been married and owned a home but I divorced her and left it all behind and that was 4 years ago. Now I'm working 6 days a week just to barely afford living on my own, but I'm stacking up OT to buy a Canon M50 then going to start working this on the side.
I want to do something that brings me joy and honestly helping people does this the most. I went through such a dark time and I discovered how much working out and running helped me mentally and it's one of the very few things that has kept me here.
I'm looking to create content that focuses on mens health because now I know how many of us need support. I want to spread awareness and share the things that have helped me find happiness like working out and other hobbies. Even if it doesn't make it big at least I can have an impact.
I have to quit smoking weed soon, have been since I was 14. It'll be tough but worth it, I see it as a coping mechanism now and distracts me too much.
Us men need some more fucking Wins.
You got this king! Go get that bag 💰
Love you needed this
Hamza thanks for your videos !
This is great for me. I am working at a customer service job that is soul killing. Soon I have exams, in a couple of weeks I will resign and after that I will begin working for myself.
This could be also good video to comment. When I began to watch Hamzas videos, I was already on self improvement journey but he definitely gave me some great advice and directions. I'm 30 years old so the information hes giving out, age doesnt really matter but earlier you realize this stuff is just great.
I'm still watching 1stman and Hamzas unfiltered videos sometimes, but I dont really have that much time and space for that anymore because I know tte basics, even advanced knowledge of this stuff and I focus on my mission.
These channels gave good advices how to make money but IMO it should be something you are passionate about. I tried several things but they didn't give that right feeling, not my purpose.
One day I realized that I spend so much time with my electric guitar and I just love playing it. I had the courage to make my own channel with few guitar covers played already and I have many other plans in future, not just alone, but with my friend, regarding how to make some money with this passion!
Thank you Hamza!
Congrats on 100k!
Nice to see the book is finally out
It's INSANE how well timed this video is for me.
I just uploaded my first video today titled "Day 1 of following Hamza's advice"
Thank you Hamza your words really speak to me. I know I will make it and once work for myself not for a shitty boss. Thank you again for your wise words!
Yo Hamza if you can make an unfiltered video of what made you think "yeah self improvement is gonna be my youtube channel" and how we all can also find our own niches and how big of a role confidence plays a role in becoming a youtuber that would be great.
Spent so much time the last three months working nearly every day to get my $ in order, n I can’t lie I lack the discipline n foresight to plan my attack when I’m off work. Thank you for the extra push, Hamza. I’m gonna order the two books finally and get to reading them in my off time, and planning more content for this channel. Just takes some commitment and consistency and I’ll be able to stop doing things that sap my energy 💚 appreciate your insight always brother
Everyone is the same but.... everyone in the same time is special itself, it's like quantum physics basically.
In you, I see a unique character that could easily get to 1 million just keep leveling up fam 💪The path is the goal and will always be.
Congratulations on the 100k
I post my first Self improvement video on Monday. I’m far from ready. But I got this.
Thank you Hamza May Allah Continue To Bless You
Congrats on 100k subs Hamza
Perfect Timing my friend ✌
thank you so much. im 15 and sick of school and the idea of working on things that are pointless to me. even though i know im an artist by nature i've been feeling lost regarding to the way i would use my creativity for my career but your conifdence has really inspired me to seriously start working towards it, thank you a lot for that!!
go for it, one’s creativity can get you far if you try hard enough and want it enough
Then you need to go on to monk mode to figure out what you want to create and to journal your thoughts
@@NinTheLost i will for sure!! thank you
@@pizzacrumbles yup! now that i got motivation i'll definitely put in the work as well, thank you for the support!!
Fellow creative here :) u should try multiple creative things. Design, music, dance, cooking, editing, animation… see what u like and work on it
Working on your side hustle/business after the work day is a real grind. If it were easy, everybody would be there own boss though. Good video man 🤘
It's a willpower thing very few people have a strong enough mental capacity to trudge through the challenges.
Sick channel and nice thumbnails brother - is the side rotated profile pic on purpose? My OCD is through the roof :D
@@ummerkasana appreciate it bro! & yes 😂 I rotated it so it would grab people’s attention
@@freemindkev it worked 👌
Thanks dear Hamza, Best of luck, gift for you and family🎁
Love you,
after watching this i think my next move would be to transition to a remote job so i can save time on travelling to work everyday nd focus the spare 1.5-2hrs on my side hustle, thanks hamza
Real shit bro
Just read the ebook. You should make a video on interviews because it's something I've never considered getting good at.
